My Vitamin D workout!

What can be better than working out during the summer...working out outside maybe?

Now that the summer looks like it's finally here, I thought I'd make full use of the sunshine and treat myself to an outside workout.

All I needed was a kettlebell, a mat, a bottle of water and myself......I took myself to the running track at Down Grange and set to work.

Here's how I made use of my 40 minutes that I had:

3 warm-up laps around the track (even though it was pretty much 30 degrees I still needed to raise my core temperature and warm up my muscles) followed by

1 minute of full Press-ups (you can do press-ups on your knees if that suits you better)

1 more lap around the track (getting warm now!)

50 kettlebell swings (I used a 14kgs but you can use whatever)

Another lap! (last 200m I pushed really hard)

20 metre Kettlebell Walking Lunge (kb in right hand, lead with right leg, then change hands and lead leg to lunge back)

Another lap

15 Single Arm Kettlebell Press right then left side

1 more (very warm) lap

20 Press-up with Squat Thrust (perform 1 press-up, then 1 squat thrust, 1 press-up, 1 squat thrust continue until all 20 are complete)

1 lap walked to 'cool down' and then a quick Bikram Yoga style stretch (it was certainly hot enough!)
